Cincinnati City Beat reported Monday on a raffle drawing hosted by the Giving Voice Foundation for a chance to win the 2023 Buffalo Trace antique collection — and it’s for a good cause. The collection was donated to the Giving Voice Foundation by an anonymous donor, and proceeds from the raffle tickets will be donated to support older people, particularly those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Tickets are $25 each and five can be purchased for $100 here. The winner will be chosen at 7 p.m. on National Bourbon Day – June 14. The competition stipulates that the collection must be picked up in person in Cincinnati. The Giving Voice Foundation explained that its goal was to raise $20,000 to support the elderly community and fund its support programs for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

City Beat reports that the collection has an incredibly hefty projected value.

“True Bourbon enthusiasts should strongly consider this as their only and very real chance to win this highly desirable five-bottle collection, which has an estimated value of over $10,000.”

The 2023 collection includes George T. Stagg Bourbon, William LaRue Weller Bourbon, Eagle Rare Bourbon 17 Year Old, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey and Sazerac Rye Whiskey 18 Year Old. 2023 was a particularly influential year for Eagle Rare, as the expression clocked in at 19 years and 3 months, marking it the oldest Eagle Rare to be released in the history of Buffalo Trace’s antique collection.

“We continue to look for new ways to support funding for our programming that allows us to continue to offer them to Cincinnati’s aging community without burden,” said Giving Voice Foundation President Dr. Christian Gausvik, according to City Beat. “As we diversify our fundraising efforts beyond hosting annual events, we felt this unique and rare raffle would be a great way to engage and encourage our bourbon-loving Tri-State to get involved in our important cause!”
